Divestitures
Semiconductor Test Business
On February 13, 2019, the Company completed a divestiture of its semiconductor business within the Test Systems segment. The business was not core to the future of the Test Systems segment. The total proceeds of the divestiture amounted to $103.8 million. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $80.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The income tax expense relating to the gain was $19.7 million.
The transaction also included two elements of contingent earnouts. The First Earnout is calculated based on a multiple of all future sales of existing and certain future derivative products to existing and future customers in each annual period from 2019 through 2022. The First Earnout may not exceed $35.0 million in total. The Second Earnout is calculated based on a multiple of future sales related to an existing product and program with an existing customer exceeding an annual threshold for each annual period from 2019 through 2022. The Second Earnout is not capped. For the Second Earnout, if the applicable sales in an annual period do not exceed the annual threshold, no amounts will be paid relative to such annual period; the sales in such annual period do not carry over to the next annual period. Due to the degree of uncertainty associated with estimating the future sales levels of the divested business and its underlying programs, and the lack of reliable predictive market information, the Company will recognize such earnout proceeds, if received, as additional gain on sale when such proceeds are realized or realizable. No amounts were payable to the Company under the First Earnout for the year ending December 31, 2019.
Airfield Lighting Product Line
On July 12, 2019, the Company sold intellectual property and certain assets with its Airfield Lighting product line for $1.0 million in cash.

The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of approximately $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2019.

Accordingly, the property, plant and equipment assets associated with these facilities of $1.5 million was classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019. The sale was completed in the first quarter of 2020.
